Best Nvenc encoder?

[Jae Tee]

Do certain rtx cards have a better Nvenc encoder than others? This is to utilize the new update on Adobe Premier pro.

nope all chips above the 1650 super use the same one.

nVidia improves the encoder/decoder with every generation of chip, just avoid the lowest end parts because they have less/none on them. So a xx70/xx80 card has two encoders, a xx50/xx60 has one, and xx30 has zero. Quadro, Tesla and Titan parts may have more than two, check the list.

Also you have to set things up correctly in the software you use

FFMpeg for example enables NVenc for encoding, but doesn't implement libnpp scaler features in the downloadable versions.

They dashed the dual encoder for high end cards, last I checked. For pascal, the 1070 and up had two nvenc units, but for turing, their info page lists only one unit per card.

So does that mean a gtx 1070 will perform better than a 16xx or 20xx with the Adobe update?

No, the Turing nvenc encoder is still really effective
